1/3 of the way through and I'm just confused...The story is progressing so fast with little development, like here's this character OK what's next. Also, the writing is kinda confusing, is that because it's translated? Should I continue?

Jessica Humphrey I thought the same thing, I was so lost when I started reading it. There was no character development and it was like "boom heres a person, BOOM hers …moreI thought the same thing, I was so lost when I started reading it. There was no character development and it was like "boom heres a person, BOOM hers another one" without really an explanation as to who they were. I was about to put it down but told myself to keep reading and I will say it got a lot better and more "followable"(less)

Clean? How romancey is it? How violent?

Laura Fisher I'm late, but hope I could still help, haha.

It's pretty clean. There's sex, but it's pretty glossed over, like; you know it's there and happening, but…moreI'm late, but hope I could still help, haha.

It's pretty clean. There's sex, but it's pretty glossed over, like; you know it's there and happening, but no graphic details are mentioned.

I don't know how sensitive you are about violence, though. There are enough scenes of that, but it's not like you'll get tons of details about how someone's stomach falls out or something (like ASoIaF). Just enough to know it's happening, and that people get hurt during it (injuries are mentioned, inflicted wounds, that sort of stuff).

There is enough romance, although it's not the in-your-face type of it, so maybe you won't notice anything. There's one couple, one romancy-type of relationship (they're not dating, but you'll get the idea) and one person crushing on someone else, so stuff does happen.

Hope I helped you!(less)

BookmarkedOne Not technically. They are two different series with totally different characters and writing styles. However, Cornelia is currently working on a book …moreNot technically. They are two different series with totally different characters and writing styles. However, Cornelia is currently working on a book that will connect the two worlds (and series).
Hope that wasn't too confusing!(less)
